"I'll help you out to see." Luo Tan said.

Luo Tan helped Shen Miao out, and when they reached the main hall, there was a person sitting at the table, Jing Zhe was pouring tea with that person. The person who came to hunt in a blue shirt was still as proud as he remembered.

Shen Miao lost her voice, "Mr. Pei?"

Pei Lang turned his head.

A year apart, so many things happened in one year. When Pei Lang chose to leave, in some respects, it was already the best choice. After all, in the memory of the previous life, no one knows how each other should face each other.

When he saw Shen Miao, he smiled slightly: "I heard that Long Ye is in trouble and the palace is in danger. Although I have no special ability, I can at least share some of it."

Shen Miao frowned and did not speak for a while.

Pei Lang smiled: "Don't think too much, I'm from Ming Qi, and in Great Liang, at least I'm a fellow villager. Besides, after all, there was a teacher-student friendship, it's not like I'm completely without friendship. This time, I should be here to help. neighbors."

He looked at him and smiled as if nothing had happened. Shen Miao looked at him carefully, seeing his calm expression as if he had let go of the past, could not help but feel relaxed.

For Shen Miao, that part of the past is now almost a long time ago. She is more concerned about the future, Pei Lang's appearance can indeed share a lot of problems for her.

She said, "I'm going to owe you another favor." Last time, it was Pei Lang who blocked the knife for her.

Pei Lang said softly, "I owe?" Fu laughed again, and said, "It is good to think so." When he raised his head to look at Shen Miao again, he said, "Don't waste time, let's deal with it now, Long Ye The most important thing."

The most important thing in Long Ye now is to clean up the remnants of the chaotic party and protect the safety of the people in the city. Everywhere because of the war, there are various court affairs, and the number of excerpts is endless. Just relying on Shen Miao who was pregnant now to take care of it was already very reluctant. Besides, she was about to give birth, so she really couldn't bear such a big move.

After Pei Lang came, the burden on Shen Miao was lighter.

Pei Lang was originally Fu Xiu Yi's staff, so he naturally had some understanding of these court affairs. Moreover, he is naturally gifted in this respect, and he is all-encompassing. Even the first time he entered the imperial court of Great Liang, he did it with ease.

However, there is also a difficulty, that is, the manpower in Long Ye can still protect the people in the city, but if they have to allocate their spare energy to clear up the chaos, they are a little concerned about their heads and tails. No one dared to take this risk, but this stalemate was not the way to go.

“After delaying for another month, Xie Jing Xing will come back and these chaotic parties will be wiped out.” Shen Miao said to Pei Lang, “As long as we persist in this period of time.”

Pei Lang was helping to read the book. Neither of them mentioned their previous life or any sensitive matters related to it, as if it was a tacit past of the two of them. It doesn't do any good to be picky, and sometimes, acting stupid is the best way to get along.

Pei Lang was stunned for a long time when he saw the stupid Ye Hongguang. He probably knew that Ye Hongguang and Fu Ming were too similar. Therefore, treating Ye Hongguang was extremely gentle, but Ye Hongguang really liked to play with the patient Pei Lang.

"Nevertheless," Pei Lang was a little worried, "but the Lu family's chaotic party is well aware of this truth. The city garrison had already reported the other day, and the Lu family's chaotic party has not acted yet. If things are abnormal, they must be demons. I always feel that they What are you preparing for?"

“No matter what they are preparing, our situation will not change in the slightest.” Shen Miao sighed, “At first I thought that the border of Great Liang was firmly guarded. Long Ye is as strong as gold, even if there is movement, it is only above the imperial court. The mutual suspicion of officials, who knows that the Lu family still has a hand."

"The Lu family hates the royal family to the core, so they know that their victory is hopeless, and they hide their hands at the last moment."

“It is not a pity for the old thief to die.” Shen Miao held the book, but looked out the window, “But Long Ye must not be lost. Not even one step can be allowed.”

Luo Tan came over with the food basket and said with a smile, "The two of you have read the book for so long, so you must eat. Especially the little cousin, you are not alone now, and you have a child. You are hungry yourself. , and let my nephew or niece go hungry, what kind of mother." She took the cakes and soup out of the basket and said, "Mr. Pei eat some too. These things. I've seen it all from the kitchen, I promise—it's clean!"

Luo Tan was in the palace all day, and seemed to have nothing to do. Shen Miao and Pei Lang looked at the papers, she could not help, she simply put all her thoughts on Shen Miao's children. There are many people in the palace, and it takes 120,000 hearts to eat food. How many women's children are lost because of eating. Luo Tan simply moved a small stool every day and guarded the imperial kitchen, even if Aunt Tao was shocked by Gu Yu, all kinds of things had to be cooked in person.

Shen Miao smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Pei Lang's eyes fell on Shen Miao's bulging abdomen, hesitating for a while, and asked, "About... It's just these days, right?"

“I can’t say for sure.” Shen Miao said, “But I think it should be soon.” She stroked her lower abdomen and her eyes flashed tenderly, “Being born in such a turbulent time, it is really embarrassing for him.”

"What kind of chaos." Luo Tan said, "What little cousin said is wrong. You must know that now the world is peaceful, and the troubled times are stable. Dad, the whole world is cheering and blessing for his birth, such a privilege is something that everyone can meet. How can such a good thing come to your mouth, and it still seems like a bad thing can’t happen?”

Shen Miao laughed, "You are so good at talking, why don't you sing and tell stories?"

Luo Tan said triumphantly, "If I were to sing and tell stories, I would definitely be the best in the world."

Seeing how lively the two of them were talking, Pei Lang shook his head and smiled and said, "Just get through this period, I just hope that the remnants of the chaotic party won't cause other troubles at this time."

Heaven does not obey people's wishes, and Pei Lang's words became a prophecy after two days.

The more critical it is, the less mistakes can be made, as long as Xie Jing Xing comes back and solves the danger of Long Ye after this period of time, no matter whether it is a chaotic party or a thief, they will disappear forever in the land of Great Liang, and from now on. After that, Ming Qi and Qin State were not there, there was only one Great Liang in the world, and all this prosperous world would fall into the hands of Xie Jing Xing.

Even if they fled to the ends of the earth, these people are like ants, like lost dogs, and they will never find peace.

They did not plan to leave alive at first, otherwise they would not attack Long Ye, but the premise was to kill Shen Miao and the flesh and blood in Shen Miao's belly, this deadly battle was worth it. Now that the days have passed, the people have failed to incite success, the royal family is stable, and the thieves will be anxious. They were eager to make the whole of Long Ye a mess, so that when Xie Jing Xing came back to face a mess, and the tragic death of his wife and children.

So they launched a frantic attack on Long Ye two days later.

Just as Pei Lang had guessed, if things were abnormal, they would be demons. They made a detailed plan, and this plan was originally an arrangement made by Lu Maocai to force the palace, but now it was unexpectedly used to deal with this innocent man. man's imperial city.

But as Shen Miao said, no matter what, their situation would not change in the slightest.

In Lu Maocai's plan, it was originally the soldiers of the Lu family who dealt with the imperial guards. Now these remnants are not as brave as the soldiers of the Lu family, and now these royal guards are not as long as Emperor Yongle, and they can just be tied.

To set aside the Imperial Guard to protect the people, there will naturally be fewer people in the palace. Shen Miao's situation was also very dangerous.

"Prince Concubine, why don't you call some people back to the palace." Deng Gonggong said, "I'm afraid it would be safe to have more people in the palace now."

“One or two more people will be useless, if there are too many people there will be no one outside. That’s all.” Shen Miao said, “That’s it, it’s enough to stay through tonight. The thieves also need to rest and recover. If they can’t attack the city tonight, their morale will naturally drop by half. Tonight. It is the most nervous time, after tonight, things are much easier later."

Aunt Tao was a little apprehensive: "But it sounds very worried. And Princess, is the child in her stomach really okay?"

Shen Miao touched her lower abdomen subconsciously, it was probably a mother-child connection, these days, she could clearly feel the child kicking and moving in her stomach, but tonight it was very calm. Then he smiled and said, "I probably fell asleep, and I know that I can't make trouble at this time. I'm very good."

Pei Lang said: "Since you have made up your mind, you will stay here. However, you must be fully prepared. If something happens, let all the people of Mo Yu's army come over to protect you and escape to a safe place first. Although this palace is to be guarded, , but human life is the most important thing. Even if the people finally knew that you had escaped, it was only at the last moment that they would not blame you, after all, you still have to protect the royal bloodline."

Shen Miao nodded, "I also think so."

"Then everyone should cheer up." Luo Tan said, "Now is a crucial night. We are all in the palace. The more we are united at this time, the more we must be united. Kaner. This year is almost over, and now there are nothing more than nameless rats, are you afraid that he will fail?"

Luo Tan grew up with the Luo family, and there is a sense of pride and courage in her bones. The more dangerous she is, the less afraid she is. Her remarks made everyone in the palace excited. Together with the maids and eunuchs of Weiyang Palace, they all knelt down and said that they would live and die with the palace.

Not so desperate.

Shen Miao sat upright in the center of the hall, the hall was very spacious, it was too spacious and looked a bit narrow. Pei Lang sat on the side and turned over the folds, Shen Miao in the hall looked at some documents sent by the courtiers at noon, as for Luo Tan, she did not know where to find a nine-chain to play with. Aunt Tao and Deng Gonggong were on the side, and they warmed the tea from time to time. They seemed to have their own business, but they were very busy.

Even this tense atmosphere has also been diluted a little.

But it's only a few, because the guards come to report from time to time, what is the current situation in the city? Those thieves are really ferocious, slaughtering people everywhere, as if they are going to fight against the royal family, causing panic everywhere. Fortunately, Shen Miao dispatched most of the Imperial Guards and the city guards, and was fighting endlessly with those Lu family members, and it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.

These thieves are very cunning, some are disturbing the hearts of the people, and some are secretly outflanking, trying to attack the palace. Listening to the voices of some soldiers fighting each other in the distance, there are also the occasional shouts of soldiers. Occasionally with the firelight, no one can truly calm down.

As if it were a bow, it was fully drawn for a while, then loosened, and then drawn to perfection. Every move involves people's hearts, making it difficult for people to settle down.

This night has been extraordinarily long, and the blue smoke wafting out of the incense burner has to be extraordinarily slow, scattered in the air, giving off some quiet fragrance, but it makes people's hearts linger in their throats.

When the morning light faded, the movement outside gradually became less.

Eunuch Deng and Aunt Tao also showed relief.

The leader of the Imperial Guard came in from outside and said to Shen Miao, "Returning to the princess, the Lu family's chaotic party has withdrawn from the city and the thieves in the city have been eliminated. The city guards are comforting the people."

This is the crisis is over.

Luo Tan stretched her waist. She played with the Nine Links for a whole night and still didn't unlock them. She wasn't stupid or stupid. She didn't focus on the Nine Links all night. She yawned. Although she was excited, she couldn't hide her exhaustion. She said, "Little cousin, this crisis is resolved. I'll be able to spend the night with you, which can be considered a little credit."

Shen Miao raised her head, she was better than Luo Tan, apart from looking a little tired, she was not so sleepy. He just smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard. When His Highness returns, they will be rewarded for their merits and deeds."

The guard leader also smiled and said, "Prince and concubine also worked hard."

To be able to stay calm at such a critical juncture, and even sit with them in the palace overnight, in a way, it is almost like fighting together with them. It is always admirable for a woman to be able to do this. Besides, everyone can see clearly what kind of person Shen Miao is these days. Ye is a mess now.

Pei Lang also raised his head from the book and looked at Shen Miao with a slight smile, which seemed to be relaxed.

Aunt Tao was the most nervous about Shen Miao's body and said, "Since everything is all right, the princess should rest first. Sitting all night without sleeping, ordinary people can't stand it, not to mention her double body." She came over to help Shen Miao. .

Shen Miao was supported by Aunt Tao and she just took a step when she felt a fall in her stomach and she suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Luo Tan said, "It's because you've been sitting for a long time and your body is stiff. I'll give you a rub. It's like this when people's legs and feet are numb. It's hard to take a step."

“No.” Shen Miao forced herself to calm down, she said, “Help me to invite a woman to come here first.”

Aunt Tao and Luo Tan were stunned at first, but Aunt Tao reacted immediately. She couldn't tell whether she was more excited or panicked, and said, "Quick! Quickly invite the two stable ladies in the palace!"

….

Mother Wen is the best mother Wen, the well-known midwives in Long Ye, no matter how difficult it is to give birth in their hands, it is just a trivial matter. In order to come safely, Aunt Tao found two people here.

Mrs. Li, who was at the head, said, "Don't be nervous, concubine, women. It's the first time to give birth to a child. Once you've given birth twice, you'll be familiar with it once. After the first time, you won't be so afraid in the future. It's very smooth."

Madam Liu was older than Madam Li and scolded, “What kind of nonsense are you talking in front of the nobles.” Then she looked at Shen Miao and said strangely, “However, the princess is very calm, how many girls have the old lady delivered? It's the first time I've seen such calm."

Shen Miao was supported to lie on the bed, her expression was indifferent, as if she did not take this matter to heart and she did not show a look of confusion from beginning to end, making people almost think that it was not the first time that she had given birth to a child. But it was the second time to give birth to a child, and those women were not so easy.

Shen Miao knew in her heart that she was not as calm as she seemed. The memory of the child goes back a long time. At that time, Fu Xiu Yi didn't care about her very much. It seemed that giving birth to a child was also very hard work. She gave birth to a child with anxiety.

Now this child has come to the world with everyone's expectations. Whether it was Xie Jing Xing and herself, or Empress Xian De and Emperor Yong Le, everyone in the Shen family knew that she was pregnant with a child, and they would definitely be very precious to this child. The more cherished something, the more afraid of being broken.

Concerns are messed up, she forced herself to take a deep breath and a deep breath, to discard the messy things in her mind.

“Prince Concubine get up to eat first.” Madam Li picked up the brown sugar water egg and brought it in front of Shen Miao, “Eat something to have the strength, it will take some time to give birth, it will take a while.”

Shen Miao took it, actually she had no appetite, but she still managed to finish it all night.

"Prince Concubine is not at all squeamish." Madam Liu praised: "In the past, those little daughters-in-law always had a bit of a petty temper. If they were the wives of rich people, they would be even more picky. If they were asked to eat something, they would not eat, saying yes. It's uncomfortable, and I don't have the strength to give birth to a child later, and it is myself who suffers. The princess is very sensible, so it will be smooth when the child is born. "

Seeing that Shen Miao had a gentle expression, she was not picky about their identities in the countryside, and when she spoke, she was also affectionate, but not too much.

Shen Miao knew that the two of them were talking to help distract her so that time would pass faster. After all, it hasn't even started yet.

Outside, Aunt Tao and the others were waiting outside. Luo Tan said, "My heart is beating so fast, I don't know whether my little cousin gave birth to a boy or a girl. After being curious for so long, I finally have an answer."

"Whether it's the little prince or the little princess, when the Prince comes back, he will be very happy and hurt a lot." Aunt Tao said with a smile, "I just don't know how long it will take."

Eunuch Deng also seemed a little nervous: "This is after all the first junior of the royal family. The Empress and the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager will also feel relieved that she has a spirit in the sky."

This is the case, not to mention the people in Prince Rui's mansion.

Even a person like Mo Qing, who has always been indifferent to his anger and anger, looked flushed with suffocation. Jumping up and down from the sun, he only said: "Before I left, I made a bet with Tie Yi. I bet on a small county owner, but I bet all my net worth. If I lose, my daughter-in-law will not be guaranteed this time. ."

Jing Zhe just heard it, and sneered: "I think the born is a little prince."

"Hey, why is he the little prince?" Cong Yang asked, "I think it's the little princess."

"The little prince is the little prince!" Jing Zhe was not to be outdone.

"Don't make a fuss." Gu Yu smoothed things out: "Aren't you making a fuss, what about Uncle Tang?"

Uncle Tang was in the corner, while reciting Amitabha Buddha, he whispered: "I ask the ancestors and sects of the Xiao family to bless the princess, the mother and the child, the mother and daughter are safe, everyone is safe..."

From the morning to the afternoon, Shen Miao finally began to give birth in the evening.

Mother Wen asked the maids to prepare clean water, towels, clean scissors and a bunch of spare things. Luo Tan wanted to go in and have a look, but was persuaded by Aunt Tao. Aunt Tao and a few palace maids went in, as well as Jing Zhe and Gu Yu, so that no one could do anything.

Shen Miao groaned lowly on the bed.

She endured it as much as she could, and the pain was bigger and bigger for a while, and later, it was almost severe pain. The pain was more painful than any physical pain she had experienced since she was reborn, and it was almost someone fiddling with scissors in her belly.

"Prince Concubine, work harder, use some strength!" Mrs. Li said, "I can see the shadow of the child!"

Pei Lang and his group outside were also living like a year.

From time to time, palace maids came in and out with silver basins, and the blood in the basins was shocking. Luo Tan anxiously grabbed the mama next to her and asked, "What's going on, why is there so much blood?"

The mammy comforted her: "It doesn't matter, women will bleed when they give birth, so don't be afraid."

Pei Lang's heart was shaking very far.

In the last life, Fu Xiu Yi didn't care about the birth of Fu Ming and Wan Yu at all. He happened to pass by at that time, and Fu Xiu Yi asked him to take a look on his behalf.

When Shen Miao gave birth to a child, in a certain way, Pei Lang accompanied her to spend it together. Unexpectedly, Xie Jing Xing was not by his side in this life, and he was the one who spent it with him.

It's also good, at least in moments like hers, that she's not alone. At least he had accompanied her at times like this.

Every moment was extraordinarily long, and I don't know how long it took, when I heard a woman in the room exclaimed: "Come out, it's the little prince! Hey, there is another one!"

"It's twins! Twins! The princess is so lucky!"

After a short while, I heard a "wow" from inside, and the baby's cry was very loud.

Everyone was overjoyed, Luo Tan almost fainted with joy! But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Madam Li exclaim again: "Prince Concubine, hold on, don't sleep! Don't sleep!"

Pei Lang's heart tightened, and before he could react, he heard Aunt Tao's sad voice: "Prince Concubine, hold on!"

Luo Tan was in a hurry and could no longer be afraid, so she entered the room, Pei Lang hesitated for a while, and heard Aunt Tao say, "Mr. Pei! Mr. Pei come in!"

Pei Lang rushed into the room, Shen Miao was covered with a quilt, her face was extremely pale, she said to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li beside her, "It doesn't matter, the child is saved and it will be fine."

"Prince Concubine..." Madam Liu and Madam Li wanted to say something, but they were speechless.

"What the hell is going on here?" Luo Tan was about to cry in a hurry, "What's wrong with my little cousin, so politely said such things?"

"Prince Concubine was weak earlier, and this child is a twin. Before the delivery, she was distracted and tired, and the fetal sitting was unstable. At this moment, she was extremely tired, and she was bleeding too much..." Mrs. Liu couldn't continue. .

"It's very difficult for me to give birth. I, I think I'm afraid I'm going to die. Cousin, when you see my parents and elder brothers, tell me that I'm not filial, and I can't serve them in their old age."

Luo Tan shook her head desperately, and said: "Little cousin, I can't say such things. Stop talking nonsense, you will go to see your uncle and aunt in a good way, if you say something like this, it is unfilial, don't say it. , don't say it!" At the end of the sentence, he was already crying, and he could hardly hold himself back.

Shen Miao smiled helplessly and looked at Pei Lang to the side.

Pei Lang was in a trance, his lips trembled slightly, how could he still have the usual calm and calm appearance.

"No, you can persevere." He said, "I owe you something I haven't paid off yet. You want to live a long life and be healthy." He seemed to be forcing himself to believe in something.

"Mr. Pei doesn't owe me anything for a long time. If he really wants to pay it back, he will promise me to protect my child. I hope he can grow up healthy." She breathed hard, as if she had used up everything. With strength, he said, "When I saw Xie Jing Xing, I said to him, I'm sorry, I can't wait any longer. Thank you for always being willing to protect me, tolerate me, and be able to have a relationship with his husband and wife, I, I'm very happy..."

"Prince Princess!" Aunt Tao shouted.

"Let me see my baby..." she said.

The two mothers wiped the child hastily, wrapped it in a swaddle, and sent it to Shen Miao. Aunt Tao said tearfully, "They are two little princes, very healthy."

Shen Miao's eyes fell on the two children, she stretched out her fingers with difficulty, traced the eyebrows of the two children, and said softly, "These two children will grow up, their eyebrows must be very good-looking. Whether they are like father or like Mother… Xie Jing Xing and I have suffered a lot, if God is a good person, they will definitely be reluctant to let them suffer any more.”

Aunt Tao has already started to wipe away her tears.

Luo Tan turned her head away and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.

"I really want to watch you grow up..." Her eyes stayed on the two children, with deep and deep nostalgia, as if she was seeing a thousand miles away from the faces of the two little babies. people.

"really miss you… "

Her voice gradually faded away.

Thousands of miles away in the big tent, the young master suddenly felt a pain in his heart. The pain spread from his chest to every corner of his body, and the pain made people bend over. He leaned against the table, gasping for breath.

Gao Yang opened the tent and walked in. Seeing this scene, he was startled. He hurriedly reached out to check his pulse. After playing with his pulse, he said strangely, "No problem, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Jing Xing frowned and suddenly said, "We will attack Xunyang tomorrow."

"Why did you decide suddenly?" Gao Yang was startled.

"Quick fight." Xie Jing Xing turned around and walked out.

The Great Liang captured Xunyang of the Qin State. At this point, the situation of the separation of the Three Kingdoms was finally broken by the young Prince Rui after more than a hundred years. This is the end of the battle of the heroes, and the grand plan to dominate the industry, and finally the flowers fall.

The king defeated the bandits, the Qin emperor was defeated, and finally was annihilated by the enemy halfway. There is only the emperor of Great Liang in the world, there will be no more emperors of Ming Qi and Qin.

History will only remember the victors, and the slaves of the fallen state are sad, but if the old monarch is tyrannical, but the new monarch treats the people with kindness and kindness, then the people's hearts will eventually fall to the more generous side.

The common people are not fools, since ancient times there has been a saying of repaying the favor. Wherever Mingjun is, he will be supported by people.

The soldiers of Great Liang are going home.

Returning to the country after a victory is always a glorious thing. Those who have joined the army and are still alive in their households naturally have light on their faces. It is the shroud in horse leather, although it is regrettable, it is also proud.

The people in Long Ye City were almost running and jumping, waiting for the victorious army to return.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the people, the palace is deserted.

Luo Tan was sitting in the yard, and the warm sun, which is rare in autumn, basked on people warmly. There were books on the ground in the yard, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were drying books.

Luo Tan looked at it, then laughed, and said, "When she was in Xiaochun City, she always took out these books for drying. I feel that the books won't be damaged. She is so particular. I didn't expect that now, I will take the initiative to do these things for her. "

The man in the blue shirt standing beside her did not speak.

Pei Lang seemed to have aged a lot overnight. He did things silently, without Shen Miao's instructions, he could not read the book. I just read a book every day and can't do anything. Such futile days seemed to be distressing to him.

There was no joy in the palace.

Aunt Tao walked out with her two children, Luo Tan quickly stood up and took one.

"The young masters are all healthy," Aunt Tao said with a smile. "The nurse said that she was very good at night, and she never made any noise."

There was also a smile on Luo Tan's face, and she said, "Being so well-behaved, I just follow my mother's temperament." The voice stopped abruptly.

Pei Lang's eyes fell on the two children, his eyes dimmed slightly.

"Which is the elder brother and which is the younger brother, I really don't know at all." Luo Tan split the conversation: "It's exactly the same, it's like this now, what can I do in the future?"

Aunt Tao smiled and said, "It's not in the way. You can change your clothes to distinguish them in the future. Besides, as children grow up, their temperaments will be different, so they will be able to distinguish them clearly."

"But what to call it?" Luo Tan was distressed: "Which is the elder brother, which is the younger brother, the little cousin didn't even have time to give them a name..." She squatted for a while, then smiled angrily: "I I don’t always mention it, but I always mention it, that’s all.”

Seeing this, Aunt Tao wanted to comfort her, but seeing Gu Yu and Jing Zhe hurried in from outside, Gu Yu said, "The prince is back!"

"What?" Pei Lang and Luo Tan were both startled. According to the course of the Great Liang army, there should be more than a month before returning to Beijing.

"The prince came back alone with his troops." Gu Yu said in a low voice, "But Madam..."

After a pause, Pei Lang said softly, "Let's go and have a look."

Xie Jing Xing strode into the palace. In just one year, too many things have been changed. Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xian De both passed away, and Nuo Da's palace seems to have become much deserted.

Eunuch Deng smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, let's see the two young masters first, Aunt Tao and Miss Luo are playing with them."

Xie Jing Xing frowned, "Where is Shen Miao?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Luo Tan and Aunt Tao walking around the screen from the back of the hall, holding the child in their hands, and Pei Lang following behind.

The swaddling baby had just woken up and was waving its little hands lively. The chubby little hands were very cute under the sun.

Xie Jing Xing's footsteps stopped.

"Where's Shen Miao?" He spoke slowly.

Pei Lang stepped forward and said softly, "Go and see her."

Gao Zhan stroked his all-white beard, shook his head and said, "This old man has tried his best to save her life, and this body is already exhausted, but she has a strong will to survive, and maybe there is something she is unwilling to do, and she refuses to let go of it. The last breath. With that last breath, the old man sealed her acupuncture point with a gold needle and saved her life, but it only saved his life."

"Grandfather, what does this mean?" Gao Yang asked. He has been away from home for many years, and since he started his career, he ran counter to the concept of the Gao family and was expelled from the family. He has not had contact with the Gao family for many years. The sound of "grandfather" actually caused Gao Zhan's body to tremble slightly.

"It means that she may fall asleep forever. Although she has breathing and pulse, she will never wake up, and she will never be able to open her eyes. She may wake up, but," he looked at Gao Yang, "just like you healed Just like the young master of the Ye family, no one knows what it will be like after waking up."

In other words, after Shen Miao woke up, she might become as stupid as Ye Hongguang. But more likely, she would just go to sleep like this year after year, and eventually she would not open her eyes to look at Xie Jing Xing.

"That's not..." Ji Yushu swallowed the word "living dead". But even if he didn't say it, the people around him understood what Gao Zhan meant.

“In this case,” Gao Zhan asked Xie Jing Xing, “Your Highness, are you still willing to wait?”

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes.” Xie Jing Xing said, “She fulfilled her promise. When I return, what if I wait for her for the rest of my life? Her life is mine, and the King of Hell cannot take it without my permission.” At that time, his brows and eyes were cold and stern, and he had the icy coldness of Emperor Yong Le, but he still brought his own arrogance, and he didn't care about anything.

Everyone was silent.

Shen Miao closed her eyes and could not hear these sounds, she seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, Luo Tan said, "Go out and let her rest for a few days. She has not had a good rest for so many years."

Xie Jing Xing treated those babies very well.

Surrounded by his subordinates and friends who have been with him for many years, seeing his patient appearance almost dropped his jaw. It is said that although young fathers are very happy when they are fathers, they will always resist raising children because of their natural prudence and carelessness.

And Xie Jing Xing's temperament could not be related to "gentleness and patience".

But he is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, spending time with his two children every day. He doesn't dislike urinating or feces in person, and he is also picky about nurses. A big man has to ask about everything. The two children now only have nicknames, both of which were given by Xie Jing Xing, one was called "June 1" and the other was called "Fifteen".

Everyone thought that this nickname was too arbitrary, but Xie Jing Xing was right: "The moon is the roundest on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Besides, what is the name of my own son

The crowd had to leave.

But no matter what, no matter the name, no matter what he takes care of the baby, what should be done is still to be done.

The imperial edict of Emperor Yongle's succession was known to all the dynasty, and now that the world is at peace, Xie Jingxing would also be enthroned. Ascension to the throne goes with the flow, but what about after it

Who

Shen Miao is still lying down now, maybe she will never wake up in her whole life, or maybe she will be an idiot after waking up. There is no such queen to set a precedent in all dynasties.

It also seems unlikely. The days in the future are too long and people change sides, Xie Jing Xing can say that he is loyal to Shen Miao now, but who can tell in the future

When Luo Tan heard the news, she was very unwilling. The Shen family's army came back with the army of Great Liang, and they haven't arrived in Long Ye yet. Therefore, he did not know about Shen Miao. As Shen Miao's only relative, Luo Tan did not want to see Shen Miao being wronged. Even more unwilling that Shen Miao gave everything but got nothing.

She was not good at scolding Xie Jing Xing because Xie Jing Xing himself did not make any mistakes, so he explained all Shen Miao's hard work over the past year. It was said that Shen Miao had a big belly and guarded Long Ye for him, guarded the imperial palace, and guarded the dignity of the Great Liang royal family. How many times when it was a close call, it was obviously very dangerous, but Shen Miao also took it down. She didn't have to.

After Xie Jing Xing listened to Luo Tan's words in silence, he looked at her for a while with half a smile, and said, "So?"

Luo Tan didn't know what to say, so she said, "So, you just need to know in your heart." She couldn't tell what it was like in her heart. Running and running, but bumped into someone, looked up, it was Gao Yang.

Gao Yang was surprised and asked her what was wrong. Luo Tan glared at him fiercely and left.

Xie Jing walked to the pond, originally to drink tea, but in the end he called Deng Gonggong to withdraw the tea and bring a pot of wine.

On the edge of the pond, under the moonlight in the pavilion, it was the last snow wine that Empress Xian De and Emperor Yong Le drank. Everyone in the world sighs that the empress and his wife are deeply in love but the sky is unfair. On the surface, he is indeed luckier than Emperor Yongle. At least he is still alive, and if he is alive, everything is possible.

But what if Shen Miao does not wake up for a lifetime? If you live like this, will you lose a lot of fun in your life? Xie Jing Xing did not have much enthusiasm for the throne of Jiangshan, if he lost the people around him and lived a boring life all his life, it would actually be a very sad thing.

The sound of someone's footsteps came, and when he followed the sound, it was Pei Lang.

Pei Lang was a gentleman who seemed to have abstained from alcohol all his life. Seeing a person like him, he always felt that he should be a arrogant literati who drank tea and played the qin. However, he sat down opposite Xie Jing Xing, looked for a wine cup and poured himself a glass of wine.

The wine cup made of jade emits a shimmering gleam under the moonlight, and it is intoxicating before you drink it.

Pei Lang said: "Tomorrow you will be enthroned. Congratulations."

Xie Jing Xing raised his lips and smiled, but he did not see much joy.

"What about her?" Pei Lang went straight in and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Jing Xing turned his head slowly and stared at Pei Lang for a while before saying, "Mr. Pei is very concerned?"

"I used to have a teacher-student friendship with the prince and concubine," Pei Lang said unmoved, still speaking: "After the imperial city is in danger, it can be considered a friend in need. I don't want to accuse me of changing anything, I'm just curious. "

“Oh?” Xie Jing Xing lowered his head and took a sip of wine and said lightly, “What do you think?”

"Prince Concubine once mentioned that she is not greedy for the queen's position or any position of power, but feels burdensome. But if this is her responsibility, she will also take it up. She is not a compassionate person with a heart for the world. People, but willing to take responsibility for the people who are important in their hearts.”

"This important person includes the relatives of the Shen family, the child in her womb, and you."

Pei Lang said: "Prince Concubine said that her life has always been extremely rough, and God treats her very harshly. Sometimes, when I think about it from the beginning, it seems that I have never encountered a good situation. Therefore, the blessing of God has never been Don't dare to expect anything. Zeng's only extravagant hope is to hope that the people he loves are safe and happy."

Xie Jing Xing's eyes moved slightly.

Pei Lang turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "She has never encountered any good circumstances, and what others can get easily, she has to work hard to get it. Even some small wishes, for her It is also more difficult than others. Now that she has suffered so much, she has fallen asleep before she can drink the nectar. God has indeed been too unfair to her. But it is precisely because she has never asked for anything extravagantly from people's hearts that she is more pitiful and admirable. ."

"His Royal Highness," Pei Lang said with a smile, holding a wine cup, "Now that you have achieved your great cause, you are in sight, you are sitting on the throne, and there may be beautiful people in the future. But I still have to remind myself, don't let yourself regret it." His voice Wei Low: "If you regret it, you won't have a chance to turn around in this life, and suffering every day is torture."

Xie Jing Xing looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "Have you ever regretted it?"

"Once, and I have spent my whole life saving it. Although I have recovered some, what was lost can never be regained." Pei Lang sighed.

The two were silent, just at this moment, Aunt Tao came in a hurry, seeing Xie Jing Xing and Pei Lang having a drink, she said embarrassedly, "Your Highness, the two young masters are crying non-stop, there is nothing the nurse can do. , you should go take a look."

On the first and fifteenth day of the first day, Xie Jing Xing was coaxing him every day, and his temperament was full of arrogance. No matter how others coaxed him, there was nothing he could do, but Xie Jing Xing gave up after coaxing him. It was strange to say that Shen Miao had a very calm temperament and would not cause trouble for others, but these two children were born to collect debts. It was fine before, but when Xie Jing Xing came back, she was known to have a “squeaky” temper. , thanks to Xie Jing Xing's patience with the child, if this were replaced by another young father, I am afraid that he would have thrown his sleeves away long ago.

Xie Jing Xing got up and said, "I'll go take a look." Suddenly he thought of something, turned his head to look at Pei Lang, stared at him and said, "You are very interesting. However, thank you for your reminder." He put the rest of the wine glass He drank a little bit of wine and said, "I never do anything I regret, nor do I do something that makes people regret, you, worry too much."

Xie Jing Xing and Aunt Tao left, looking at the back of the two of them, Pei Lang shook his head, smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and murmured in a low voice, "Are you worrying too much?" His expression gradually turned bitter, "Really? , I won't leave any chance for anyone, it's abominable..."

On the day when Xie Jing Xing ascended the throne, the sky was bright and the sun was warm and windy.

The name is Xiaojing.

The nine-layered palace towers toweringly, and the dragons dance on the Golden Palace. Hundreds of officials are in front, courtiers are on the left and right, and the young emperors change into golden leather silk peacock feather dragon robes, and the yellow robes are embroidered with gold thread. The corners of the robe are fine and delicate, majestic, and the golden brilliance is hard to look at.

And he looks extremely handsome, crowned Zhou Zheng, but has a pair of cynical peach blossom eyes, even so, the eyes pass, but it is like the cool October breeze, and it has a chilling meaning.

No one dared to underestimate this young emperor. Although he was the youngest person ever to ascend to the throne in the Great Liang Dynasty, he truly carried the flag, went to the battlefield, and swept Qin and Ming Qi. Military generals, even in the courtroom, make good use of conspiracy, forcing people into embarrassment.

The imperial edict has been established, and the imperial jade seal is in hand. Since then, the Great Liang Dynasty has ushered in a new master in the world.

But after his etiquette, he unexpectedly walked aside, and the courtiers did not dare to raise their heads until they heard the emperor's voice: "Leave the queen."

Everyone knows that Princess Rui is currently sleeping for a long time, and the good thing is, what kind of sect is this? On the rear position on the other side, he moved cautiously as if he were dealing with rare treasures.

Among the courtiers, except for Gao Yang Ji Yushu and a few others, the rest were all shocked. Someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty can't!"

"Oh?" Emperor Xiaojing turned his head, looked at him, looked around, and said with a smile, "Why not?"

"Dear... Madam has not woken up yet, how can the mother of a country be an unconscious person?"

I have never heard of a queen of a country who never wakes up.

"I can't do it?" Emperor Xiaojing seemed to be teasing him on purpose, and said, "I want to do it, so what?"

That courtier was an old courtier, and Emperor Yongle respected him very much when he was alive. He seemed very confident, so he said, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to leave the post for her forever?"

The ministers were in an uproar.

A person who can't wake up for a long time will always occupy the back seat, even if it's just a name, the meanings it represents are very different. In the future, there will be new beauties in this palace. As long as there is always someone in the latter position, then these women's children will never be able to go beyond the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

Emperor Xiaojing laughed softly, all the ministers who laughed straight were a little dazed, and the courtier who laughed first was panicked.

Just listen to the emperor: "The post is empty? There is only one woman in my harem, why is it empty?"

Everyone was shocked!

"Your Majesty..." The old minister still wanted to speak.

"Xu Aiqing, I remember that you still have two little granddaughters in your house, and they are now beautiful years." Emperor Xiaojing said.

The man was stunned for a moment, and he was apprehensive, but there was a faint joy in his heart, but the next moment, the joy disappeared, only to hear the emperor say: "How about I betrothed her to the former Wuguan general Song of the current dynasty?"

That young general Song is young and promising, but unfortunately he was blinded on the battlefield before, and it is impossible for him to have a future in this life.

"Xu Aiqing" suddenly turned pale.

"I am not here to listen to your opinions, nor to listen to your criticisms, I am just telling you the result." He sat on the emperor's throne and looked down at all the ministers: "I am the emperor and the master. What is your opinion on the imperial decree issued, even if you put it forward, but if it is to control my harem and my personal affairs, then I will definitely do it." He thought for a while, "return it double."

"When the time comes, don't say that I mess with the mandarin ducks." He laughed mischievously, and in an instant, he returned to the streets and alleys of Ming Qi, like a handsome young man passing lazily on horseback. It's just that at this time, he has already wrapped his sharp edges under the scabbard. Although he looks at the gorgeous scabbard, he can't pull it out and cut it like mud, or no one dares to try it.

"If you don't believe me, just come and try." He said with a half-smile.

He really doesn't look like an emperor, not serious enough, not serious enough, but he looks more dangerous than the emperors of the past. Even more so than Emperor Yongle. The more indifferent he behaves, the more heart-wrenching he is. Everyone knew that this Prince Rui was a guy with a black belly. He was staring at him, and he didn't know how he died. The most important thing is that he completely disregarded etiquette and reputation, and was not afraid of anything. Everyone believed that he would marry the minister's youngest granddaughter to another minister's brother, or marry the minister's grandson to his nemesis. Miss Jiao, Emperor Xiaojing would definitely be able to do such a thing.

It's just that the door is not right, and the fear is that there is still the result of containment. If this restraint is on the right track or not, the family will not know what kind of weakening and dying.

No one dared to gamble on the condition of the family.

Everyone just thought, that's all, it's just a matter of mixing oil with honey. Emperor Xiaojing can do whatever he wants. Maybe in a few days, he will get tired of himself, or he will fall in love with a new beauty. Man, when you love it is true love, and when you don't love it, you really don't love it. Why do we have to do thankless things here ourselves

Thinking of this, the ministers were relieved. They didn't say anything anymore, and some even flattered, saying that Emperor Xiaojing and his wife were deeply in love, which was a good story.

Xie Jing Xing looked at the faces of the ministers with cold eyes, as if looking at all beings in the world through the colorful masks. Kind of ridiculous, but pathetic.

He half-knelt down in front of Shen Miao.

A man with gold under his knees is an ordinary man. It is really surprising to do such a move. Besides, he is not an ordinary person, but the emperor of Great Liang, the master of the world. But it is so almost pious half-kneeling in front of a woman.

Shen Miao was properly supported by him and sat on the high seat. She was also led by Aunt Tao to paint Jing Zhe a gorgeous palace costume, with fine gold powder sprinkled at the end of her eyes, but she looked very arrogant. Wearing a golden queen's court dress, eyes closed, long eyelashes hanging down, as if asleep.

She is such a beautiful and tough woman. Gao Zhan said that Shen Miao had an unfulfilled wish, so she gave her last breath in her will to survive, and only then did Gao Zhan save her life.

So what is her last wish

To see Xie Jing Xing again, to watch the first and fifteenth graders grow up, or to say goodbye to Shen Xin and the others

Xie Jing Xing leaned over to her ear and jokingly said, “I have brought you to be the queen, why don’t you open your eyes to take a look?”

Shen Miao could not hear what he said, she fell asleep in her own world, as if she was about to fall into a deep sleep for such a long time, sleeping for a lifetime.

Xie Jing Xing stared at her and said, "Knowing that you are tired, get up when you have enough sleep. The first and fifteenth day of the first day of the first year and the fifteenth day of the first year are going to find your mother." He stretched out his hand and held Shen Miao's cold hand along his sleeve and said, "I I miss you too."

The ministers silently watched the young emperor do all these things. They had been crawling and rolling in this court for many years. Heart, not to mention being moved by others. In addition, Prince Rui was really not a good person in the past. There are few officials here who have not been cheated by him, and they hate him so much.

But at this moment, they were a little reluctant to disturb this scene. It was as if he could see some shadows of his youth through the pictures of emperors and women.

Anyone can love someone, but whether this love can last a lifetime, because it is too difficult, many people give up in the middle. There are very few people who can reach the end.

Can Emperor Xiaojing do it

Xie Jing Xing fiddled with the heavy crown and put it on Shen Miao's head upright. His movements were gentle and solemn, as if he was placed on top of this crown along with something else.

He leaned down slightly and kissed the woman's eyes.

The time was blurry, and it was going backwards quickly. It seemed that he had returned to a certain day long ago. He was still a miserable and miserable green youth, and she was still fighting for the Ming Qi royal family, and protecting the Shen family was difficult. He asked, "Shen Miao, do you want to be the queen?"

No one thought that he would become the emperor in the end, and she would become the queen.

The world went round and round and returned to the beginning.

Behind the Golden Palace, Luo Tan, who was peeking, covered her mouth, as if she was about to cry and laugh, and whispered, "He really made the little cousin the queen... The little cousin didn't see the wrong person..."

Behind him, Pei Lang also smiled slightly, there was relief in that smile, but also a bit of disappointment, but more of a relief, he said, "It's good."

In spring, the branches of apricot blossoms are full, the breeze blows, and the petals are scattered, spreading the fragrance of flowers all over the place. Birds stood on the branches chirping and chirping, and their eyes were full of liveliness.

Half a year's time is fleeting, and it is almost impossible to grasp anything.

For the people of Long Ye, the past six months have been extremely pleasant. Perhaps it was because he swept away Qin and Ming Qi, or because the new emperor had a very different idea. In short, Emperor Xiaojing was a very competent emperor.

He was very generous to the people, and some of the new imperial decrees made people all over the world applaud. There are rumors in the market that because Emperor Xiaojing liked to wander among the people when he was young and was sympathetic to the suffering of the people, he could always put himself in the shoes of the people.

In any case, Emperor Xiaojing's reputation among the people was still very well supported.

But among the courtiers, not necessarily.

In the past, when Emperor Yongle was on the throne, he had to take great face into account in everything he did. But this Emperor Xiaojing was a lawless master. He was generous to the people, but strict to his officials, let alone sympathetic. Even those old officials who claim to be old, can't get any favors in front of him.

What is even more frightening is that he has a good balance of power everywhere, and his sense of smell is better than that of a mouse. Not to mention any movement, even if there are some subtle thoughts, he can be keenly discovered. The courtiers who were harmed all day long suspected that there was a traitor in their house, and they cleaned up the house if they had nothing to do.

What the courtiers were most dissatisfied with was that in the past six months or so, Emperor Xiaojing had really never accepted a beautiful woman. In the harem, there was only one Queen Shen who never woke up.

This is really puzzling. At first, some people thought that he just felt ashamed of Empress Shen for this promise, and even if the empress' position was unshakable, it would be no problem to accept other women. But as the days passed, the emperor Xiaojing's harem was clean enough to fade away, and everyone realized that he was not acting.

Some people suspect that he was talking too much before, and now he can't hold back his face, so he is very "empathetic"

He sent his daughter to Jiaohua Jieyu, and the next day he was given marriage to the son of his nemesis by Emperor Xiaojing. This time, the courtiers all exploded.

Emperor Xiaojing's methods are really not cruel. He gave marriage to his nemesis, not only kicked away the woman he didn't want, but also checked and balanced the situation and warned the officials who were just about to move... Three birds with one stone, too bad.

Over time, the courtiers did not dare to send beauties to Emperor Xiaojing without authorization.

But rumors are essential. A young man with strong vigor, except for his comatose wife, has no woman, which makes people wonder if he has broken his sleeves.

But as soon as this rumor came out, it didn't seem to affect anything. What happened to the emperor's broken sleeve? He still has two sons, and he does not worry that no one will inherit the great cause of the country. Moreover, this old man is a thief, a thief, and a scourge of thousands of years. I am afraid that he will have to live for a long time.

All in all, all the people submit and submit to the court.

The early morning sunlight was exceptionally good, Aunt Tao carried the two children to Xie Jing Xing and worried, “Your Majesty, do you really want to take the two little princes out… for an outing?”

With a baby in one hand, Xie Jing Xing simply stepped onto the carriage and said, “En.”

In the carriage, Shen Miao was sleeping. Xie Jing Xing gave her a headache and said, "I slept for half a year, you are a pig."

The first and fifteenth day of the first day waved their little hands and turned their heads curiously to look at Xie Jing Xing, Xie Jing Xing said to the outside, “Let’s go!”

The one appointed by Tie Yi waved the whip, the master became the emperor, and he, the leader of the Mo Yu Army, turned out to be a groom...

Xie Jing Xing was very fond of taking the children out for an outing, although Eunuch Deng and Uncle Tang always tried their best to stop him, but he couldn't hold back his high martial arts skills and couldn't stop him at all. He always said, let the children see all the landscapes when they are young, so that they will not be easily fascinated by the flashy world in the future, and only then will they know what they want.

In fact, it was probably just an excuse, he just wanted to take Shen Miao out to play.

The carriage stopped at Shade Mountain. The foothills are beautiful everywhere.

Xie Jing Xing brought the child up and Mo Qing thoughtfully brought the confused in a small pot. Recently, the first and fifteenth day of the new year are learning to eat rice cereal. The two children can't pick their mouths. Drinking rice cereal will make them go to heaven.

No, Tie Yi was holding the first day of the first year, Mo Qing was holding the fifteenth, Xie Jing Xing fed them both rice paste, the two boys kicked their legs and they were not happy, the people who kicked them hurt.

Xie Jing Xing got angry and said, "Give me the child."

He casually found a large safflower cloth strip that Jingzhe used to tie the food basket, tied the basket to his back on the first day of the first day, put Shifu in his arms, and "forced" Shifu to feed him with rice paste.

On the fifteenth day, Xie Jing Xing asked the Mo Yu Army to push away and not to interfere, it really was a fight with the two boys.

The dignified king of a country, with a baby tied on his back, a baby in his arms, and a strip of red flower cloth tied around his body, looked at the other baby with bitterness and hatred to feed the rice cereal.

Everyone in the Mo Yujun couldn't stand it any longer.

The fifteenth "wow" burst into tears, and the first day behind him seemed to have a feeling, so he also burst into tears. Not only that, Xie Jing Xing felt a burst of enthusiasm.

Great, peeing.

He was furious, and was about to teach the two stinky boys a lesson, but suddenly heard Jing Zhe exclaimed: "Someone laughed!"

Everyone was stunned.

Jing Zhe's voice trembled with excitement, and pointed at the carriage: "I heard it just now!"

Shen Miao was sleeping in the carriage.

The surroundings suddenly became silent.

The breeze in the mountains slightly brushed everyone's faces, warm and itchy, as if the sun couldn't help laughing.

In the silence, this time I heard clearly that someone was laughing, a soft, familiar laughter, with some kindness.

After a long time, Xie Jing Xing strode over.

His hands trembled slightly, but in the end he finally made up his mind and opened the carriage curtain.

The woman's brows were gentle, as if Haitang had just woken up, and her voice was still lazy, but the faint shadow in her eyes betrayed her excitement.

She tilted her head and said with a slight smile, "Long time no see, Xie Xiaohou Ye."
